About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary aisle of Shoppers Drug Mart, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual bottles and boxes, there lay a small, wrapped package nestled between the toothpaste and deodorant. Curious, the regular picked up the package, noting it was addressed to ‘Mr. Johnson’ with no other details. Later that day, while chatting with his neighbor, he mentioned the oddity. The neighbor laughed and said, “Oh, that must be from our local delivery guy—always forgets to take back his snacks!” And so, the mystery of the anonymous package remained unsolved, but everyone got a good laugh out of it.

2. In a quiet corner of Shoppers Drug Mart, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why does every fifth box of band-aids say “Caution: may contain peanuts”?’ A nearby customer overheard and whispered to their neighbor: ‘Maybe they’re testing us—if we don’t notice, it’s not an allergy hazard!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling at the absurdity of it all.

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a sleep-deprived night stocker was restocking shelves in Shoppers Drug Mart when he swore he saw a box of sleeping pills rearrange themselves on the shelf. Suddenly, another box moved, and then a third one followed suit. Confused but amused, the stocker watched as the entire row of pills seemed to dance into perfect alignment. When his shift ended, he joked with his co-workers that maybe the pills were trying to tell us something—like it’s time for a nap!

4. In the late afternoon, as customers browsed the aisles of Shoppers Drug Mart, someone kept hearing a soft humming sound. It wasn’t coming from any machine or display—it seemed to follow them around the store. Finally, one curious customer followed the sound and found it was just an old shopping cart playing quiet tunes. Everyone had a good laugh, and soon after, the store started calling it their ‘musical cart.’
